And if you do hate the desktop interface, get a copy of ZLaunch. ZLaunch
is launcher I've been writing since last fall and sports its own custom
interface. The interface is designed to be as seamless as possible and
can be customized for maximum efficiency. Also, ZLaunch is designed to use
as little memory possible and is ideal for those people with low memory
machines.

Like Andy, I can also say that neat knew things are coming soon! But, since
I'm my own boss, there's no one to fire me if I should leak something. :)
